TERRIBLE CASUALTY.
One Hundred and Fifty Men Entombed in
q Coal Mine.

NANIMo, b. G., May "a terrible explos-
ion Of gas took place last evening in No. |
shaft OF the Vancouver Coal company's mine,
in which there were 100 miners at the time.
The first intimation those on the surface had
of the explosion was a terrific shock, followed
by an outturst Of thick, black smoke through
the air shaft, The first explosion was quickly
followed by a second one, stronger than the
first, carrying pieces Of wood, miners lamps,
few minutes the flames commenced TO
issue through the air shaft with a loud
roaring noise. In n shoyt time tie fan house
caught Dre and was quickly con- um "a. In
the meantime nine whlte men aud four Chi
uese were trJught up through No. on the
hosting shaft. r.. Gibson miraculnuslv es-
cape from the lower slope by following his
way to the stables, where he was met bV the
rescuing party. Rescuing parties continued
TO attempt TO reach the tntom,cd men, bat
were unable 20 rescue only fifteen up 10 this
hour. They We're overcome win after-damp
a.d had to be rescued by others of those
noble resCuers. Samuel Hudson succumbtd
to the effects OF after-damp. The scene around
he shaflhcad is most heartrcuding. The
friends OF those Imprisoned below are looking
for the missing. At this hour, , D. m, but
little hopes are entertained for the safety Of
the I'm prisoncd men. The tire Is still raging but
II Is thought il viii soon be gotten under con
troll.
The rcscuirg party VIII again attempt to 20
below. 1t T. believed that the fire in the air
shaft has been eXtinRuished and only a small
body OF hame exists between the air and The
main shaft, which can be conquered to-day.
An attempt Will then he made to bring air in
and the work Of rescue viii begin by tonight.
The disaster Is the most terrible in The his
tory Of coal mining. The mines extend more
than a mile beneath the waters OF the harbor.
jules Michael, one OF the injured, says he was
AT supper In No. , shaft when he felt the con
cussion. All scrambled, but only one Of his
lou companions were saved. He reports the
tx losion as terrific. John Lynch, another
Injured man, has become demented since the
accident and talks wildly OF men in the pit.
The grief OF the women is terrible.

TALK OF '89.
What Prominent Republican thinks Of
Cleveland and Blaine.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Prominence is given
In last evenings Star to an interview With an
unnamed Republican congressman, whose
u,terances have been endorsed by many who
do not hesitate to speak over their names.
He says that up to about the time congress
adjourned he had accepted 1t as a forcgone
conclusion that Mr.. Blaine would be their
next nominee. Since then he has become
doubtful. Sherman, he says, has made ONE
big strikes of late, and there seems now to be
a close race between them, with 1t very doubt
full which Is in the lead. 1T looks more like
sherman he says, ethan it ever did before,
bat it may be that neither will get IT,. What
ever Ne may say publicly, We all know that
II Is not going TO be an easy
thing to beat Mr.. Cleveland. We will
have no show In the fight If we enter it handi-
capped with internal differences. The party
leaders recognize the fact that the whole
party has got TO pull together to win and that
Individual preferences have got to be sunk
Tor ihc good of the whole party. They are
trying To cif,ct harmony, ard the claims OF
individuals will be st aside for u time. The
gu, stion is, who viii best hold the entire Re-
publican strength, and au effort viii be made
To nominate n man VINO VIII 90 IniS. ms
make, f. Il little uncertain about Mr.. Blaine.
II may be that neither Blaine nor Sherman
viii gct the nomination, but that some ont.
side man viii be called. IL is claimed for Mr..
Blaine that he Will draw more Democratic
votes than he will lose Republican. 1t Is GER
tain that he would Get more Democratic votes
than any other K publican could, but the
question Is whether II is well Ia trust to
this. Many Of tie best party leaders hold
that the fave Of the party must be- with men
Of it's own faith tha the strongest candidate
is the man who can carry the whole party.
ihis viii ali bc carefully considered before II
btc mes a sure thing for any one. There is
no doubt in tue world that Mr.. Cleveland is
w,ll liked By many Of our best Republican
statesmen. Some Of the best men of the
party went with him before, and the proba-
bility that he would get still more Of them If
We should nominate Blaine must be consid-
cred. We must not deceive ourselves. The
ConFling element is as bitter against Mr..
Blaine as ever, and the hatred OF Mr.. Ell.
munds for him is intense. This must all be
considered. We must use our forces to the
very best advantage TO beat Mr.. Cleveland,
aud the wisest counsel will have TO be fol-
owed. | do not mean by this that Mr.. Blaine
may not be the choice Of the party, but that
he will be is by no means as certain as II
seemed TO be "A few months ago. He will rot
be nominated as a mere matter OF sentiment.

Bob Ingersoll seems to have met his
match in an orator on the other side.
In q recent speech Gen. Geo. A. Sheri-
dan electrified his audience by an elo-
suent assault on the talking intidel. An
account of his speech says that for
some moments he had been describing
the beauties of Christ's character, and
the results of his teachings, showing
their value to the world and picturing
their triumph over barbarism; pausing
for an instant as if to master his emo
tions, he suddenly strobe to the edge
OF the stage (his pale face and his eyes
flashing) and cried out in a voice that
rang like a trumpet-call through the
great church: What do you think of
that man who in the very MONDAY
glory of that triumph picks up the
cruel spear dropped by the scoiling
centurion nineteen hundred years ago
on Calvary, and with savage glee
plunges it again into the heart of di-
vine love, then turns to you his sacre-
ligious hands dripping with sacred
blood, and cries out exultingly, Shout!
shout! with me in triumph, for | have
ain the Christ again."

No protest against the Tory policy of
coercion is more significant than that
of the lower house of the Dominion
parliament of Canada, passed by the
great majority of 1875 against AZ. The
noble Marquis of L~ansdowne should
take TO heart this most emphatic re-
buke from a coordinate branch of his
W government. Nowhere outside of
the three kingdoms has any voice yet
been publicly raised in support of the
Salisbury dragonnade. And there will
not be long to wait for the fuliillment
of Gladstone's prophecy that the voice
Of England will be joined with the
voices of Scotland and Wales in de-
manding fair play and a liberal policy
for Ireland.

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS,
A Lively Discussion Of the Resolution In
dorsing President Cleveland.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 5.-When the Demo
cratic state convention re-assembled this
morning Congressman Taulbee renewed his
efforts to induce 1t to strike from the plat
form the clause a%pplauding the president for
the fidelity and care with which he protected
the treasury from pillage by the exercise Of
the veto power. Mr.. Tauibee based his op-
position on the veto OF the dependent pension
bill, declaring that 1t was an outrage on the
veterans OF the war and an insult to IA large
majority In both the house and senate. Con-
gresham Mckenzie came 10 the defense of
the president and declared that the veto In
question had brought Cleveland nearer 10 the
hearts Of the people Of Kentucky than ever
before. He awakened enthusiasm bv predict
ing that Carlisle would occupy the second
place on the ticket with Cleveland in the next
n~ation.l campaign.
James i. Bryan, OF Covin5ton, was nomi-
mated for lieutenant COVE lor by reclamation.
Z. n. Hardin was nominated for attorney
general and Fayette Hewitt for auditor.
